I think that the fed will continue to pump as long as they can and keep the party going. If our markets continue, then London, Sydney, the Japanese Exchange Group etc should hold up for a while too, I’d guess.

But printing cash is a lot like doing cocaine: A little is fun for a while, and a lot at once sounds like a good idea, but the next day you’ll have the worst hangover of your life. So I’ve heard.

On top of the supply chain problems, tensions in East Asia, OPEC+ not wanting to pump and US energy being kneecapped by an 80 year old man with dementia, I’d expect an egregious buttfucking is coming for all of us outside of the very rich.

Add in other fun tidbits like the average age of a farmer in Japan (67), or in the US (57), and what’ll happen when BigAg comes in to buy those farms as the old guys can’t do the work anymore and we’re in for a fun ride.

Which is why I buy silver regularly. I can’t really afford gold, but I can hedge with silver to an extent and try to ride the tail end of the gains.

Last week, I had a panic moment where I almost yanked everything in the market.

For now, staying the course.  Have about 10% of my funds set aside to buy in a crash.

Not sure that my plan or strategy is worth anything.

Investing how and for what duration? If you’re investing for a longer period of time on a monthly basis a crash might help.

He’s not wrong. If you’re like a lot of investors, you’ll be fucked, but if you’re a consistent investor into a diversified portfolio, index funds etc, you’ll be happy again once the crash is over. That could be a stressful time, but whatever you put in when the downturn happens will probably come with a pretty significant return.

A bunch of people made a ton of money off the recovery from the crash back ~2009. A few made a ton from the crash itself, but there’s a reason there are books and movies about them and not the rest of us.

Pretty much every market in the world looks severely overbought. I think a correction is coming, and it can be quite a substantial one. Then again, markets can stay irrational for a long time.

Don’t be a bitch luke, put all your money in
